My thoughts on The 100 7x05
Tumblr media
Hey, guys,
Sorry for not doing any comments on the last two episodes. I’ve been a little busy and I struggled to connect to the show, so it hindered my enjoyment, but it’s all better now. Liked episode 4 and 5 was even better, jampacked with info and it answered a lot of questions.
Welcome to Bardo
Badass Octavia is da bomb (people don’t say that anymore, right?). When she was captured in episode two, I thought she had lost her fighting spirit, but it’s back, bitches. Well, until she runs into an invisible wall trying to escape. She’s captured and transported to M-cap (whatever that means). Then we get a welcome little flashback to Lincoln but it’s obvious that Bellamy would be the hand reaching out. He’s her rock, like she’s expressed many times.
Unlike John Murphy who is not quite a friend, or family and definitely not a lover. Introducing so many new characters in the final season of a show is never a good idea, because this is the time to wrap up all the stories of the existing ones, but come on, who cannot love Levitt. Even when he first meets Octavia, he doesn’t want to hurt her. Jason, you better not harm one hair on this precious little puppy’s head!
Tumblr media
As he binges The 100 through Octavia’s eyes, he starts rooting for her, and he actually gives a damn, unlike most people on this show. He understands her strengths and weaknesses and he makes her see it too. “You’re a warrior to be sure, but your heart is pure.” Wow, what an honest and beautiful line. (Scroll down for my shipping comments.)
So is O and Hope’s fleeting little reunion. It’s amazing to experience this deep loving side of Octavia after her darkness. She’s truly one of the most diverse and developed characters on the series. Now Hope and her resilience is quickly making it to the top as well.
While Hope is trying to send her back home, we learn that memory loss is due to the time dilation. One quick note on this, it’s not linear, there’s no easy equation to calculate it unless you’re Stephen Hawking or Einstein. I don’t think it’s constant either. 10 years on Skyring = 11 days on Bardo = a few minutes on Sanctum. In the current time, 5 years on Skyring = 1 day on Sanctum = 7 days on Bardo. So, it’s clear that the planets are moving, and other factors are playing into the phenomenon. It’s more important to understand the time relative to each planet.
Levitt was the one who tattooed Hope’s code onto O’s back, also the one who planted the note into Hope’s arm. Indeed the kind of man you want on the inside, he even accepts a blow to the face as thank you.
Sheep-ish?
Thirty minutes on the clock and the trio gets led to a congregation to praise the shepherd. I never thought it was Anders, I do, however think it might be Cadogan. The Bordoan’s built the underground forest because they destroyed their planet. Ugh, what’s new? The shepherd herded his sheep from earth to Bardo via the stone. Cadogan and his second dawn cult?
Back to Clarke. So, after last episode I thought ‘the key to winning the last war’ line was an artifice for luring Clarke to disciples, but now it’s clearly true. They’ve located the key and they will win the last war. Levitt was interested in Clarke surviving the City of Light with the flame in her head, they probably assume she still has it. Cadogan burned Becca alive. Could it be because of the flame? Is this all because of that damn little chip that can’t seem to die?
Tumblr media
Bellamy is not dead, I repeat, Bellamy is not dead! I believe that memory could be staged or implanted for a reason. Also, there’s no body, he jumped through the bridge. In the promo photos, he wears a ring but his actions towards Octavia seem a little cold and generic. On first watch, I thought it was bad acting but if he was programmed to do this, it makes sense.
Note the sequence of events. Octavia returned 7 days ago and was asked to talk her brother down, but we don’t see the actual scene. Instead we’re shown a memory. They could have implanted it to make her vulnerable and perhaps more susceptible to the procedure. I don’t know, but this theory could lead to Robot-sheep!Bellamy on Nakara, where he’ll encounter Clarke and the gang.
I have to be honest, I really don’t like this character arc for Bellamy. It’s unoriginal and a mime of Peeta’s storyline in Mockingjay. Sorry, but so far it feels like the writers were so over the show, they just wanted to get it done. And that attitude really bleeds into one’s creative concepts. I could be completely wrong, in fact, I hope I am.
Echo spins a Finn
Tumblr media
My word, I lost the love of my life once, but I sure didn’t kill anyone. When Echo received that vision of Roan, I was hoping for some progression on her individual arc, they’ve made me care about her, and now we get the opposite. Why? One thing I have to admit, a killer performance from Tasya Teles! No pun intended.
Look, this show hasn’t explored Bellamy and Echo’s relationship enough to make her murder believable. It was the exact same thing with Finn. I wasn’t invested in Finn and Clarke’s connection, so his actions of killing a grounder tribe was more repulsive than understandable. Sure, Echo loves Bellamy and her sole purpose is to save him, but I’ve never truly witnessed their love for each other. They had one or two intimate scenes which cannot compel a deed like this. And in the process, she screwed Hope and Diyoza.
Anyway, I don’t think there’s any coming back from it. She murdered an innocent person in cold blood. That’s sure to open a door to the dark side.  Just look at Octavia after killing Pike and her actions were justified by jus drein jus daun.
Say Sanctum three times slowly and it sounds like… Sanctum
Blind faith
Look, I’m just gonna come out and say this song is getting old. Every episode featuring Sanctum is the exact same thing with different lines. Can we please move on from it, already? Yes, we know the COG want Russel dead, and the adjusters will go to extreme lengths to free Russel and the prisoners are background noise.
I did appreciate Nelson stepping in to try and save the girl, though. Still doesn’t save the fact that it’s repetitive. The Sanctum plotline is really struggling to take shape and I hope it happens soon. Dramatic eyeroll.
Tumblr media
At least in the drought of a desert, you can always count on Murphy. “…I say we live and let die.” Typical cockroach line, right, but it’s ironic when he’s the one to step up, even if it is for Emori. Under the magnifying glass it’s the exact same plot as episode 1 and 3. He hesitates to take action, and eventually becomes the hero.
I mean, he saved that poor kid from being burned alive. Can you imagine sacrificing your own child in such a horrific away? Cults are beyond whacked, and, unfortunately, it’s reality that cult members are so blinded by their faith that they do not see rhyme or reason.
How did Murphy fail that test? I didn’t. When Trey named the four pillars, I thought, isn’t rejoice one of them? Surely, a cockroach would have smelled that trap a mile away.
Indra the great
Tumblr media
Can we just give a massive round of applause to Adina Porter!!! That powerhouse walk vibrates strength and majesty, damn, she should be a false god, I wouldn’t dare threaten her with or without an army.
Three little words was all it took for her to recognize evil. “There’s a spider on your shoulder.” Smooth. Too bad she can’t kill him. Why not, how many of the faithful are left to cause an uproar? Wonkru doesn’t know it’s Sheidheda, they won’t care, the COG will fall in line and the prisoners will be happy as long as they get their compound. Sorry, I don’t get it and I don’t understand why she doesn’t tell anyone.  Someone please explain?
Granted, JR Bourne as Russel is way better, but I still don’t understand his actions. I hope they explore and explain him more, because he still feels flat unless he knows something of this final war. I’m hoping these two storylines align soon since it’s really driving a wedge between me and my love for the show.
Shipwreck
I’ll start with the easy stuff, Murphy, Emori and the perfect dress gets a heart eye emoji from me. They are so damn cute this season, can they please live happily ever after in the palace?
Octabriel vs Levittavia
Now, I enjoy Levitt fangirling over Octavia. I feel like he has a deep sense of her through her memories. If I have to root for an underdeveloped relationship, it will have to be one where the characters share thoughts and experiences even if it is through a sick, sci-fi procedure.
On the other hand, Gabriel and Octavia have immense chemistry, two seconds of them together bends my mouth into an “Aah, cute” pout. This will also add some approval and representation for mixed racial relationships.
I really don’t mind either way as long as they make me care through showing and not telling.
Bellarke
So, if my theory is correct, and Bellamy does end up on Nakara, Bellarke will encounter each other quite soon. Bellamy won’t be himself though, but he might pretend to be Bellamy to win Clarke’s co-operation. Is there hope for Bellarke yet?
Echo is now trotting a dangerous path and Bellamy might be pledged to a cause, so I doubt there will be a happy ending for Becho. Since 7x01 I’ve been thinking that the writers might want to develop something between Clarke and Gaia but if they are separated, is there enough time? Guess we’ll see.
This monster of a review is finally done… If you read through everything, you deserve a gold star! Let me know what you think, till we meet again…

Ooo I'm curious about your hot takes on the Inuyasha reboot after reading your tags 👀
Ahaha, where to start XD Idk if they are hot takes, but here are my thoughts in bullet point form for coherency, I couldn’t figure out how else to organize them. Under a cut, as usual, because it got lengthy... as usual :D
We are 13 episodes in, and I still have no idea wtf is going on or what the series is actually about. And yes, I’m aware that we didn’t know of Naraku’s existence or of the overarching plot until at least episode 16 of that series either and Inuyasha was still very episodic in nature at that early point too, but here’s the thing: Inuyasha did not build upon a pre-existing series. For better or for worse, Yashahime has certain expectations to live up to that the original anime didn’t, by virtue of its being a sequel. Unfair? Maybe, but tough; that’s what happens when you make a sequel. Additionally, despite us not knowing The Main Plot™ of Inuyasha until later, the basic framework for it was laid out clearly by... episode 2? I think? Find and collect the Shikon Jewel shards. Boom, done. Were there distractions or fillers? Sure, but you never got the sense that the characters simply up and forgot about the shards. Even in fillers, the shards often made some kind of appearance. With Yashahime, there’s like three potential storylines going on: 1. The most obvious: most of our main cast from the OG is missing; where are they? Apparently no one in-story cares! :D Inuyasha, who’s that lol. I’m all for a sequel focusing on the new generation with cameos of the old crew; after all, they already had their own series. But this is like... no one cares about them? No one talks about them? And the more characters go about not mentioning them, the stronger their absence is felt. Like, for instance, Kaede knows Moroha is InuKag’s daughter. Moroha grew up on her own, doesn’t know her parents. Kaede doesn’t mention them to Moroha, doesn’t even spare a passing thought about them for the audience’s benefit, Moroha doesn’t ask. Kagome’s family in the present day meet Moroha, recognize her as Kagome’s daughter and... say nothing??? Souta shows Towa Kagome and Inuyasha’s old photos, but doesn’t say a word to Moroha?! Like. It makes no sense. By people not even acknowledging their existence, it makes the fact that they are nowhere to be found even weirder. Also the new gen girls don’t care about their parents or finding out who they were/are... like, okay, it would maybe be in character for one or two of them, but all three don’t give a fuck??? 2. Kirinmaru/the rainbow pearls: Idk how familiar you are with the story, but similar deal with Naraku and the shards here. Kirinmaru is being set up as the villain, still a mysterious figure; our new gen trio is supposed to collect the rainbow pearls that... some of his henchmen have? Or he is after them? Or is that Riku? Unclear. ANYWAY the new gen girls often forget all about the pearls’ existence :D 3. Setsuna’s memories: Setsuna’s dreams have been stolen by the dream butterfly and they need to get them back, because without her dreams she has no memories and is unable to sleep. Cool! Finally a solid, easy-to-follow plot line! Except wait! Towa, who supposedly made it her goal to get Setsuna’s sleep back, forgets all about it! All the time! Like, none of them make an effort to look into this other than being like “oh yeah, know anything about the dream butterfly?” to random folks every now and then. The Inugang back in the day was putting some grad school level research towards their goals, just saying. It just feels like everything’s all wishy-washy and there’s nothing really solid tying the series together. People just remember shit exists when it’s convenient.
.
Character development is MIA. I’m not expecting ground-breaking char dev in 13 episodes (though I do know 12 episode series that were phenomenal in that regard), but like... I do expect the series to focus on building the dynamics between the main three characters. So far, the series is more focused on teasing the audience with glimpses and promises of the OG cast instead. The creators are using nostalgia and bait (esp of a certain pairing) to drive interest in the series, rather than developing the new characters as fully-fledged characters for their own sakes. 
.
Moroha is was the only thing I actually liked about the series. She is a little spitfire and you can somehow instantly see both Inuyasha and Kagome in her, while she also remains very uniquely herself; I have never seen such a successfully developed main pairing child in any series. She featured quite prominently in the first few episodes -- and unlike both her parents, she’s got a great memory and knowledge of lore -- where she balanced funny moments with badass fighting moments and being the token supernatural encyclopedia. It was great! And then... they’ve like... forgotten her. She’s been left behind so many times by the twins. She’s the butt of every joke. She’s become the type of comic relief that’s, well, insulting. More like a buffoon than anything else. And it’s basically all for the sake of giving the floor to Towa :/
.
Setsuna is okay. Not offensive, but unremarkable. She’s got her dad’s personality but like way toned down due to her different growing up circumstances, which is nice, but like... I feel she isn’t given any room to grow or breathe or anything. She’s also basically there as a device to enhance Towa’s development.
.
Towa... oy. I tried to like her, I really did, but she just doesn’t work for me. They set her up having a very Kurosaki Ichigo type deal with beating up bullies and getting into trouble at school and shit -- I’m fine with that. That’s cool. Esp if it’s linked to not feeling like she fits in bc she’s a hanyou? Awesome. Except once she travels back in time to the feudal era it’s all “Oh killing is bad you shouldn’t kill people” and “even though they attacked me I can’t possibly hurt them” and “you need to empathize and talk things out” and “friendship is magic” and shit. It feels like she had a personality transplant, it literally makes no sense. Her design is totally nonsensical too -- out of everyone at her school, she’s the only one dressed in a bright white suit? Do protags not wear the school uniform? Someone should tell Kagome lmao. She’s a pro at hand to hand, and she can absorb demons’ powers and fling them back at them like a personified Tessaiga, and she has a lightsaber sword, and she’s immune to miasma, and -- like... you get it. It’s too much. It’s way too OP for the type of universe that Inuyasha/Yashahime is set in. She’s hanyou for fuck’s sake; remember all the training Inuyasha had to go through? When he couldn’t lift his sword? When his sword attacked him? Sango, Miroku, Kagome, even Sesshomaru all had trouble with their weapons and had to work to become stronger. But Towa? Nope. Towa is straight out of the Yas Queen/Girl Boss manual, so she gets a free pass on everything.
.
UGH they are doing the VLD/bad writing thing where things happen (like, BIG THINGS) and none of the characters actually react to them. Or stuff happens and there are no consequences. No one ever talks about anything. It’s wild.
.
Everyone has amnesia!! :D People either don’t know or don’t remember anything or anyone. People who absolutely should know things all of a sudden magically don’t know them. Like, Kohaku -- traveled with an undead priestess, spent years in the company of demons, traveled with Sesshomaru... and yet had NO CLUE that Setsuna is Sesshomaru’s daughter or that she is hanyou, despite her living and working with his team of demon slayers all this time. Like... how, man. How. And Kaede! Don’t get me started. Since when does she perpetuate random demon-boogeyman type stories as facts? Demon children will kill each other in the nest so that only the strongest one will survive, therefore Setsuna must have killed Towa when they were infants. O_O What are they, sharks? Has she been hanging out with Kisame? Wtf?? And she’s speaking about Sess’s kids as though she doesn’t know him or anything about him, when she has had Rin under her roof all these years. It just makes. no. sense.
.
Things that happened in the original series are happening again now! Because that’s the best we’ve got, recycled plot elements wooo! No, but really, characters that died or things that were resolved in Inuyasha keep coming back. Why? What was the purpose of bringing back Kinka and Ginka? To have a foil for Towa and Setsuna as twins? Someone please tell Sunrise they can just create new characters. Like, it’s one thing to have call backs to the original or cameos, references, whatever. But like... this is entire (dead) characters and interactions.
.
No one knows how long it’s been since the original series ended. Fans initially heard 20 years from promo material, then “over 15″ and “10 years since” in-series regarding two different events, and now in a future episode summary we’ve gotten 18 years since Hosenki II gave Inuyasha the black pearl. But like, which black pearl? Because the one in Inuyasha’s eye doesn’t exist anymore, but Hosenki II had told Inuyasha that it would take 100 years for him to produce one. So, are we retconning that or where the fuck did it come from? Also, this doesn’t help one bit, it just confuses things even more. Back to the point, though, we have no coherent timeline or real frame of reference whatsoever, and I’m betting it’s in large part to keep the mystery of who is Sesshomaru’s wife going, as it keeps Rin’s age very vague. Everything is vague and mysterious in Yashahime, to the point where no one knows what’s going on, in fandom or in-story even. It’s kinda like how too much plot twist/shock reveal ruins a story, too much mystery does the same. It’s insane that both shippers and antis of that ship can lay equal claim that the “18 years since” announcement works in their favor.
tl;dr: Idk man, Yashahime is a clusterfuck of a series. Even if the mother of Sess’s twins is either of the characters I ship him with, I will still not like the series. There’s no saving this writing. Every episode feels like this:

Three of a Kind (2/3)
This is purely for fun, and not real in any way, shape, or form. Please do not post this anywhere else without my permission. If you want to post on your blog, please be cautious when tagging.
Rating: T
Warnings: polyamory, making out, love confessions, teasing
As the weeks go by Ronen and Rafael become inseparable. They always end up eating together during breaks and when they film together there’s always laughter and fun. When they can they sneak into each other’s trailers to make out and if they’re lucky a quick hand job.
Off set they usually go to Rafael’s since Alberto is home and Ronen isn’t ready to introduce them. Rafael doesn’t mind playing host. He’s always playing music and cooking for Ronen. When the show gets announced people go crazy at the fact they’re playing lover interests. Rafael social media accounts blow up over night and he can’t fathom that so many people like them just from a few seconds of promo.
“It’s going to be a rollercoaster,” Ronen says one day when Rafael is showing him all the likes he’s been getting on his instagram, “Enjoy the ride.”
The holiday break at Christmas, Rafael goes back to New York to visit his family. Ronen does as well but they don’t get a chance to meet up since they’re both busy. They try to talk as much as possible. Plus Ronen has Alberto with him and Rafael still feels weird taking time away from their relationship.
The new year brings them back to set and back to sneaking around, but apparently they’re not as good as they thought they were and the cast already knows. The cast likes to joke about it and while Rafael blushes, Ronen just makes jokes right back before kissing Rafael to make him forget they were found out.
The show premieres and people are tweeting at them like crazy. The first reviews come in and people are loving it. Ronen asks the fans about ‘Tarlos’ as he and Rafael are dubbed and everyone loves it.
They have their first Tarlos livestream, and it’s fun and relaxed. Ronen flirts with Rafael the whole time. People comment on it but neither of them say anything. After the livestream, Rafael playfully punishes Ronen by not letting him come until he’s truly and well fucked out. 
They finish up filming with smoothies and a bus crash. Ronen posts a photo and video of him and Rafael on set and the fans love it. After they finish filming the season Ronen and Rafael make plans to meet up later in the week.
Then COVID stops the world. Ronen is at home with Alberto, while Rafael is alone at his. Their plans get cancelled and there’s nothing they can do but stay at home. They FaceTime as much as possible but it’s not the same. Ronen’s face is always sad. He tells Rafael how much he misses him and Rafael tells him they’ll be together soon.
Another month goes by and there’s still no end in sight. Rafael is missing not just Ronen but everyone. He’s at home without anyone else while Ronen gets to have Alberto. His family is holed up in New York, scared and he can’t get out there. He tries to reassure his mom that he’s okay and to stay inside. 
He makes the decision to surprise Ronen and Alberto at home. If Alberto is as cool as Ronen says he won’t mind a surprise visit from his boyfriend’s boyfriend. He cooks something for them to eat to ease the surprise. Nothing like food to help someone like you.
When he knocks on the door, Ronen’s dogs bark and he hears Ronen tell them to quiet down. He peeks through a crack to see who it is and when he sees Rafael with food in his hands he opens it wide with a smile, “What are you doing here?”
“Surprise?” Rafael says. A nervous smile appears on his face.
Ronen pulls him into a kiss, “Yeah it’s a surprise. I just, I can’t...come on in.”
Rafael steps into the house and takes it in. It’s the first time he’s been over. They always go to his place. Alberto comes out of the kitchen wiping his hands, “Who is it, babe?”
“Uh, it’s Rafael,” Ronen replies.
“Oh,” Alberto replies, “Hey man, nice to meet you.”
Rafael nods, “Likewise.”
The three of them stand there in silence until one of the dogs comes up and sniffs at Rafael.
“Let me,” Alberto says and takes the food from Rafael’s hands.
“Thanks,” Rafael says. He bends over to pet the dog, “Hey, lady, you’re so cute.”
Ronen’s heart swells at the sight, “I, um, I’ll be right back.”
Rafael barely looks at him because a second dog comes up to sniff him.
Ronen goes into the kitchen, “I didn’t know.”
“What?” Alberto replies. “I didn’t know he was coming over,” Ronen says again, “I-I I’m sorry I can ask him to leave.”
“No, no don’t,” Alberto says, “It’s not like we haven’t had dinner with other partners before.”
“Yeah but...” Ronen lamely replies.
Alberto comes up to him and puts his hands on his cheeks so they’re looking at each other, “I promise it’s okay. Plus, he is way hotter in person.”
Ronen smiles at his boyfriend, “I know right?”
-----
They end up eating at the table with music playing softly in the background. Rafael and Alberto get along well...too well almost and Ronen can’t help but listen to the two banter. It’s like they all fit together so well.
After the dishes are put in the dishwasher and dessert has been eaten Ronen suggests a movie.
“I don’t want to overstay my welcome,” Rafael says looking at Ronen then Alberto.
“You’re not,” Alberto says, “Anyone who can cook like that can stay as long as they want.”
Rafael gives a small smile, “It was nothing.”
Ronen pulls them over to the couch and has them both sit on opposite sides while he grabs the remote and plops down in the middle. He clicks through and finds something they all agree on, on Netflix.
The movie starts and Ronen leans into Rafael. Rafael’s arm goes around his shoulders and Ronen cuddles into his side. From the corner of his eye he can see Ronen’s hand is in Alberto’s holding tight.
Ronen wiggles around more as the movie progresses and his head ends up in Rafael’s lap with Ronen holding on Rafael’s arm that’s around him and his feet are in Alberto’s lap. Rafael can’t help but feel like it was completely normal. Who shouldn’t have dinner and a movie with their boyfriend and their boyfriend’s boyfriend?
After the movie is over and Ronen yawns loudly Rafael makes his excuses to go home. Ronen walks him out while Alberto stays behind saying he’s going to take the dogs out before bed.
“It was nice of you to come over,” Ronen says at the door, “I’ve really missed you.”
“I missed you too,” Rafael replies, “I’m sorry it was a surprise but...I couldn’t stand it anymore. And I know you coming over would be harder because of Alberto so coming here was easier.”
Ronen pulls him close and rests his head on Rafael’s shoulder, “It was nice. Honestly. It was everything I’ve wanted and more.”
“It wasn’t weird to have both your boyfriends around?” Rafael asks.
Ronen shakes his head, “It’s all I’ve ever wanted. Not many people get it. I have to keep everything separate.”
“Is that why I was never allowed over?”
Ronen sighs but nods, “I wasn’t sure how it would be with both of you, but it was the most relaxing evening I’ve had.”
“I’m glad,” Rafael says, “And Alberto is pretty cool. Quiet, but cool.”
Ronen squeezes his arms around Rafael, “He’ll come around. He’s just quiet around new people.”
“Honestly if he hates me don’t tell me,” Rafael says, “I don’t want to come between you two.”
“You won’t,” Ronen says, “I promise.”
Rafael turns his head so he can kiss Ronen and Ronen happily accepts the kiss. Ronen tries to deepen it, but Rafael won’t let him and he pulls away with a smile, “I’ll talk to you soon.”
Ronen whines, “Can’t you just stay? It’s been weeks since I’ve seen you.”
Rafael shakes his head, “You have Alberto to cuddle with. Plus I don’t think your bed is big enough for all three of us.”
Ronen pouts, “I can be small. And I wouldn’t mind being in the middle of the two of you.”
Rafael shakes head, “No, baby, not tonight.” He kisses Ronen again and relauntly pulls away, “I’ll see you soon.”
-----
Ronen starts coming over to Rafael’s more after that. He’ll spend the days there and his nights at home. He invites Rafael over more and cooks for him. Alberto warms up to him more and soon all three of them enjoy hanging out. 
Rafael soons finds himself falling for Alberto as well. He doesn’t tell either of the boys that though. He still isn’t sure if it’s allowed. Like how to tell your boyfriend and his boyfriend that you’re falling for both of them?
One night, Rafael drops by and Alberto answers the door, “Hey, come on in. Ronen just ran out to grab something for dessert, something about vegan marshmallows or something. I don’t know.”
Rafael steps into the small house. It’s the first time he’s been alone with Alberto. Thankfully the dogs come over to greet him, tails wagging so he crouches down to pet them. He sees Alberto move away from the trio and back into the kitchen.
When the dogs get tired they leave Rafael to himself and he’s left standing lamely at the door. He kicks his shoes off and places them by the other ones placed in the shoe rack. He makes his way over to the couch and plops down in what’s become “his” spot. He takes his phone out since there’s nothing to do but wait for Ronen to get back.
Alberto comes to sit down on the other side of the couch and stretches his arm across. He tickles Rafael’s ear and Rafael flinches from the touch. 
“What’s that for?” Rafael asks, pulling away from the wandering fingers.
“Nothing,” Alberto replies and goes to tickle his ear then down his neck. Rafael tries to get away but can’t and soon Alberto’s moved over more and tickling down his side and Rafael can’t stop laughing.
Rafael somehow falls over laughing as Alberto gets closer. Rafael asks him to stop but Alberto keeps at it, tickling his side and Rafael grabs at his wrists stopping the movement. Alberto’s other hand comes out to attack his other side, but Rafael grabs his hand before he can. Alberto looms over Rafael and while Rafael’s breathing is returning to normal he can’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.
Rafael doesn't know who goes in for the kiss first but soon Alberto’s not looming over him, but laying on top of him as they kiss. Alberto’s kisses are more aggressive than Ronen, trying to take control. His hand twists in Rafael’s hair, pulling to get a moan from the man under him.
Alberto breaks away first, but goes to kiss down Rafael’s neck. He bites down where neck and shoulder meet and Rafael’s cock jumps. Alberto trails his lips back up to meet with Rafael’s and his tongue fights it way into this mouth. Rafael lets him take control. Rafael’s hand goes down to touch down the other man’s sides and end up holding onto his hips as they rut against each other.
Alberto breaks the kiss again and looks at Rafael. He smiles at the man, “You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to do this.”
Rafael can only smile back, “Same.”
Alberto smiles back, “Ronen’s going to get a kick out of this.”
Ronen, right. The boyfriend they share. The one who will be home any minute. Rafael pushes Alberto away because as much as he loves making out with the man, they need to talk about this. Whatever it is.
“Did I do something wrong?” Alberto asks.
Rafael shakes his head, “No, no it’s not you. I just-it’s Ronen.”
Alberto’s arm comes around Rafael’s shoulders and pulls him in so that he’s cuddled into the older man’s side, “What about him?”
“I don’t want to break up with him,” Rafael says, “And I don’t want him to be upset that we’re doing whatever it is we’re doing...if we keep doing it. I don’t want it to be a secret.”
Alberto kisses his temple before he speaks, “Rafael, you know he won’t be upset. He and I, we’re poly. We’re always going to have more than one partner. We don’t usually fall for the same people but...it’s happened before. You don’t have to choose one of us. You can have both of us. If that’s what you want.”
Rafael pushes away from Alberto and leans over so he’s elbows are on his knees and his face is in his hands, “I don’t know if I can do that.”
Alberto’s hand lands on his back, rubbing it comfort Rafael, “You don’t have to decide tonight. And if you choose you’d rather only be with Ronen. That’s fine. I’m not jealous. What happened between us just now, that can be a one time thing.”
“What if I don’t want it to be?” Rafael says. He turns to look at Alberto, “What if I want it all the time. I don’t know if I’m poly like you and Ro but I know that I want you both.”
Alberto lets a small smile appear on his face, “You don’t have to figure it out all tonight. We have time.”
Rafael breathes a sigh of relief. The tension in his body melts away and soon he’s back cuddled in Alberto’s arms lazily kissing him. Alberto’s got an arm around him and the other is dangerously low to his cock.
The dogs barking break them apart and they see Ronen standing at the door with a smile.
“What’s going on, you two?” Ronen teases.
Rafael turns so he can look at his boyfriend with a lazy smile and Alberto moves so his chin is hooked over his shoulder to look at Ronen as well.
“Just figuring some things out,” Alberto answers and winks at Ronen.
Ronen smiles at the two of them, “Figuring things out? Like the fact you two were making out without me?”
Alberto kisses Rafael’s cheek, “He is quite convincing. You should kiss him sometime.”
Ronen places his bag on the floor before launching himself at the men on the couch. Thankfully Rafael catches him in his lap before they fall over. Alberto stays plastered to his back and Ronen moves so he’s straddling his lap. Ronen’s hands come up to cradle Rafael’s head and turn it up so they can look at each other. There’s a small smile playing on Rafael’s lips as Ronen moves to kiss him. Rafael feels another pair of lips, Alberto he thinks, on his neck.
Rafael pulls away from Ronen to catch his breath and Ronen wastes no time and moves to kiss Alberto. Rafael watches as Ronen leans over him to kiss the man that’s been cuddled up behind him the whole time. His hands move to hold on Ronen so he doesn’t fall over.
When Ronen has his fill he pulls back and looks at the two men, “Bert, you’re right. Rafael is a pretty good kisser.” And without another word he takes Rafael’s mouth with his again.

BTS Drabble/Imagine: Birthday Surprise (Jimin)
Member: Jimin
Prompt(s):(Drabble Challenge)
40) “She ran from me, I couldn’t catch her, she just grabbed the…”
                                         and
54) “Waffles or pancakes? Or wine? Oh...or beer?”
Requested by: anon
Summary: You had planned to spend your birthday alone. Jimin has other plans. 
Tumblr media
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”
You gasp as you take in the scene around you, hand on your cheek out of shock. You have never experienced sensory overload before, but you’re pretty sure that is exactly what you are feeling at this moment. So many of your loved ones --family, friends, co-workers-- were standing in front of you with huge grins on their faces and many with their drinks in the air. Beautiful lights covered the room, giving off a glow bright enough that you can see everything and everyone, but soft enough to make the large room seem much more intimate. There is a long table along the side wall that is covered with all of your favorite foods and drinks...even the ones that you tend to keep to yourself because they are more of a guilty pleasure. The sheer volume of the well wishes as you had walked in the door was nearly deafening, but now everyone in the room is staring at you, patiently awaiting your response.
“Wow.” You say in awe. You hand is still on your cheek, chin is hanging down, and eyes are wide. A warm hand envelopes the hand hanging at your side and softly squeezes it.
“Happy birthday, Y/N!” Jimin says sweetly. He is grinning so much his eyes are smiling too.
Your eyes somehow become even wider with realization “Did you do this?”
His smile fades a bit at your question. “Yes. Do you not like it? I know you don’t usually celebrate your birthday but you’ve been working so hard and you said you missed…”
“I love it. It’s perfect. Thank you.” You stop his worries with a chaste kiss on the corner of his lips and a sincere smile. Turning to the people in the room, the audience to your shock and awe, you say, “Thank you all! It is so nice to see you! Enjoy yourselves tonight!”
From the right side of the room, you hear a loud “first round is on me!” from Taehyung. Everyone cheers and continue with the conversations that they had seemingly been having before you walked in.
You spend the first hour or so mingling with your guests. Everyone that you love is here, or at least all that could feasibly make it. Jimin floats from being right by your side to chatting with your grandmother to cracking jokes with the boys. In fact, he just left your side to get a new drink for you since your glass was nearly empty. You take a seat at a table at the side of the room, taking in the scene.
You had originally been surprised by Jimin showing up outside of your work a couple of days ago as a “birthday surprise”. You hadn’t expected to see him in person on your birthday. The boys were busy traveling with promotions, so you had made Jimin promise to video chat with you on your birthday. That was your only wish. Now, you feel like you’re dreaming. Granted, you are feeling a bit of a buzz, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that Jimin had organized all of this for you. Not only did he make sure he was here for your birthday, he had invited all of your friends, family, and co-workers. He must’ve been working on this for a long time because so many of the guests don’t live near you. Jimin also didn’t know all of these people before this party, so he had to do his research. The fact that this remained a secret is even more amazing.
You see the object of your thoughts walking toward you, two drinks in hand, with the boys following closely behind him. As they reach your table, they all walk up to you to greet you. You get a firm hug from each, with whispered well wishes (or yelled in Jin’s case) before taking up residence at the table with you. Jimin remains standing, places his hand softly on your shoulder, and raises his glass.
“To Y/N. My rock. My love. My everything. Happy birthday, babe. You have done so much this year and I am so proud of you. May this year be even better than the last! To Y/N!” The look that Jimin was giving you--adoration in his eyes, happiness on his lips, confidence in his words-- makes you swear that you are melting into a puddle.
“Y/N!” The rest of the boys raise their drinks along with Jimin, sending warm looks your direction before drinking. You take a drink along with them, not so much for the taste but for the extra few seconds it gives you to regain control of your body. When it feels like you can stand without falling to the ground you lift yourself from your chair, wrap your arms around Jimin’s neck, and hug him like he was going to disappear if you let go.
“Thank you, Jimmie,” you breathe over his shoulder. “Tonight means so much to me. You mean so much to me.”
“Thank you.”
You chastely kiss his neck.
“Thank you. ”
You kiss his jaw.
“Thank you.”
You capture his bottom lip between yours, keeping in mind that you have an audience, but wanting him to understand just how much all of this makes you feel. He readily responds, the small touches throughout the night seem to be driving him just as crazy as they are you. He lets out a soft sigh, but not soft enough to avoid comment from the peanut gallery.
“Oy! If I wanted a show, I would’ve paid for it!” Yoongi playfully shouts, effectively breaking the two of you apart. Your cheeks are flushed, as are Jimin’s, but if anyone asked you would both say it was due to the alcohol...even though Jimin hasn’t had any. You hide your face in Jimin’s quaking chest until you can feel your coloring returning back to its normal hue. Pulling away, the two of you share a quick smile, before taking your seat at the table with the boys.
You chat with them for awhile about a little bit of everything: your hopes for the next year, your job, their promos, and their families are just a few topics that you discussed. As the conversation continues and the drinks continue flowing, the dialogue gets more excessive. Jin’s dad jokes are flowing more than the drinks, Namjoon and Jimin laughing at every single one. Hoseok is subtly dancing in his seat to the music being played over the speaker system before he pulls Yoongi away with the intention of livening up the party by having Yoongi take over the music selection. As soon as the first song begins, the boys all get up to hype up their friend and his selection. You smile, but decide to avoid the dance floor a little bit longer to talk with a cousin that you haven’t seen in years.
A few minutes later, you feel a tap on your shoulder mid-sentence. Turning around, you see Jungkook with two drinks in his hand.
“This one’s on me!” He gives a shy smile, handing you the drink in his left hand. “Happy birthday, Y/N!” He clinks his glass to yours before walking away.
A couple hours later, your feet are exhausted, your ears hurt, and you are definitely feeling happy. Your warm cheeks hurt from laughing so much at the boys and their antics. You are sitting on a bench, cuddling into Jimin’s side while watching Jungkook and Hoseok try to show each other up on the dance floor. Yoongi is still playing DJ while fondly watching the dancing pair. Looking around the room, you see Jin and Namjoon in the middle of a photoshoot with Taehyung behind the camera. Feeling mischievous, you get a sudden idea. Giving Jimin a kiss on the shoulder, you stand up and stealthily drunkenly walk toward the trio. Jungkook sees you sneaking by him and grabs your hand, stopping you so suddenly that you wobble and only remain standing thanks to his steadying hand coming to rest on your upper arm.
“I know that look...what are you up to?” He isn’t condescending in the least. In fact, he has a sparkle in his eyes that shows you have found your partner in crime. You briefly fill him in on your sloppy plan and it earns you a grin. “I’m in!”
Just a few moments later, you hear a loud “Hey Tae!” from the other side of the room, causing the photographer to turn away from you. Bumbling forward, you run as fast as you can and snatch Taehyung’s camera out of his hand. He looks at you just in time for you to snap a photograph of his shocked face before running out the door, Jungkook following closely behind.
Jin and Namjoon are doubled over in laughter while looking at Taehyung’s face. The surprise and confusion has made his face twist into a look that would make you think that nobody was home upstairs. That is until he sees Jimin talking to your brother. He walks the few steps to your boyfriend.
“She...she...she took….” He struggles to form a complete sentence while pointing at the door.
“What?”
“She...Y/N...She ran from me, I couldn’t catch her, she just grabbed the camera and took off. MY CAMERA, Jimin!”
“Y/N wouldn’t…”
“My camera! She took it! And ran! She ran with it! Kookie too!” Taehyung is starting to panic, well, as much as you can panic while as inebriated as all of you were. His hands seemed to be struggling to decide whether he should continue pointing in the direction you moved, hide his face, or hold the camera that is no longer there in front of him--causing him to look like he is doing a horrible rendition of the YMCA dance.
Smiling at Taehyung’s frantic movements, Jimin places a hand on his shoulder. “I’ll get her. I’ll get it back. Stay here.”
He finds you around the corner of the building, giggling like a schoolgirl next to Jungkook. The two of you are taking all sorts of “selfies” with the camera while sitting on the ground against the brick wall. Well...you would be taking selfies if you were pushing the correct button. You were currently turning the flash on and off without taking any photos. Looking past the camera, you see your boyfriend.
“Jimin! Come here! Take a selfie with me and Kookie! We’re going to hang them up all over Tae’s room!”
Jimin crouches down in front of the two of you, gently tugging the camera from your hold. “How about I take it, huh babe?”
“Okay!”
He takes his place to your side and takes a quick photo of the three of you. Afterward, he stands, pulling you and Jungkook unsteadily to your feet. He wraps his arm tightly around your waist and guides you back to the door as Jungkook leads the way.
“How about we say goodbye to everyone then I take you home?” he whispers in your ear while watching Jungkook try to push the door open when he needs to pull it in order to accomplish the task. You nod sleepily, feeling the adrenaline leave your body, as he stops you several feet from the door.
He lifts the camera in front of the two of you. “Let’s give Taehyung a picture of his two favorite people to hang on his wall, yeah?”
You lean into his shoulder as he snaps a photograph.
“Y/N.”
Groan.
“Y/N.”
You feel soft kisses on the back of your shoulder. Well, you think you do. It is difficult to feel anything other than the excruciating pain in your head. Is there an elephant sitting on me?
“Babe.”
“Shhhhh.” Your brain has swollen bigger than your skull.  That is the only thing that could explain this.
A warm hand rubs your back. “Y/N, drink this. It’ll help.”
Braving the light, you crack your eyelids just enough to see Jimin offering you a glass of water with a couple painkillers. You take a long drink, swallowing the pills as you do.
“Never again.”
Jimin chuckles. How can he smile right now? Looking at him, you see that he is looking as ethereal as ever: skin glowing, smile luminescent, hair slightly mussed but still looking like it is meant to be like that, eyes clear.
“How do you look so good?” You groan, rolling over to bury your face in your pillow.
He laughs again. “I was the DD last night, remember. I didn’t have any alcohol. I’m pretty sure you had enough for the two of us anyway.”
A loud groan echoes around the room.
A few moments pass in glorious silence. Jimin’s hand has come to play with your hair and you almost fall back to sleep. Almost.
All of a sudden, the most obnoxious sound you have ever heard reverberates around every space in your head. Your phone is vibrating on the bedside table.
“Stop it! Please!” You whine, covering your ears.
Jimin does. Looking at the message’s sender, he sees that it is Taehyung sending you the photos you took on his camera. Smiling at the preview, Jimin returns your phone to its place on your nightstand.
“Let’s get some food in you. You shower while I make breakfast. You’ll feel like a whole new person afterward.” He whispers close to your ear before kissing your head.
“I don’t want to move.”
“I promise, babe.”
“Okay.” You attempt to stand, falling back onto the bed as your room begins to spin due to your headache.
“Never again. Ever. Never. Ever. Ever. Ever!”
Jimin softly laughs, giving you a hand to get to the bathroom. Before shutting the door, he turns back.
“What would you like for breakfast, beautiful? Waffles or pancakes? Or wine? Oh...or beer?”
“Jimin!” You throw the nearest thing to you, a roll of toilet paper, at him. However, it hits the door because his reflexes are currently much quicker than yours.
You hear laughing on the other side of the door. “Love you, Y/N! Happy birthday!”

The Last Jedi: Vanity Fair covers reaction and breakdown
Because I’m too hyped not to let it out!
Waking up today to this felt like Christmas! (for the lack of better analogy of waking up to gifts and surprises.) I just went to check if a new episode of the Scavenger’s Hoard was up yet, and what I got was a double bonus of the new episode AND the coveted Vanity Fair spread!
I love that they made 4 different covers instead of just one with either a bunch of characters thrown in together (like the TFA poster which I don’t like much for that very reason tbh) or a select image of, probably, Rey and Luke on the Ireland location. That could be cool too, but would be a) too reminiscent of the teaser poster and b) would not feature other, no less important and wonderful characters. So here it goes, the four covers broken down one by one.
(I tried to keep it short, but it never happens.)
The Force
Luke looks more and more like a god figure, and not a happy one. Whatever he’s been through changed him and left him a pained old man.
I love the burlap sack draped over Mark dramatically. Skywalker drama queen, indeed! (I say that lovingly)
Regarding Rey, honestly, I don’t have much to say, other than they’re playing it safe, and keeping the news on her character to the minimum (yet). She’s got her staff, but not the saber (would it be reading in too much to say she hasn’t let go of Jakku and still waiting for her family to come back at that point in the film?)
I like that random strain of her hair, making a loop in the wind. It’s kinda cute 
Colour palette for Rey’s and Luke’s costumes is earthly, brown-grayish, with fabrics that look low-tech and reminiscent of traditionally woven materials. Compare and contrast with the First Order cover with Hux’s luxury silk shirt, Phasma’s ultra tech armor, and layers of dark and 3D printed belt buckle on Kylo.
The weather isn’t up for sunbathing and sipping a margarita on Ahch-To. Could be a coincidence as that was simply the weather on the day of the photoshoot, but I like to see this as a reflection of what’s going on on the island, as clouds gather in the sky.
On a side now, is this a composite image? Because Mark looks taller and larger than Daisy, in ways that suggest these are two separate photos of them combined together. I read somewhere that Annie Leibovitz is fond of stitching photos together (which is totally fine). It’s just that Mark’s seemingly huge hand and head and the way Daisy and Mark look like (or rather do not look like) standing next to each other kind of bother me, but, of course, that’s a minor thing, unimportant for the story and the characters.
The Dark Side
The Dark side? Not the First Order? Interesting choice. Whether one should look too much into this is a question, and the answer is probably not too look too much into that. It’s probably that ‘The Dark Side’ sounds cooler and more ominous than ‘The First Order’. (Still, Tarkin and Krennic weren’t referred to as the faces of The Dark side). Anyways, let’s move on to more exciting parts of this cover!
Phasma looks like she is about to kill someone, and I love it! I love seeing Gwendoline Christie being able to act with her face. Hopefully, that means we’ll get to see a more substantial story for her character this time, because to waste Gwendoline’s talent would be a bummer.
Also, they kept her blonde hair (probably, to avoid complicating things too much. It’s not even guaranteed we see Phasma unmasked in the film.) Anyways, I’m excited to see Phasma unmasked (masks do have an effect of making perceive someone less human), and as a fan of Gwendoline in Game of Thrones, hope we’ll see more of her in TLJ!
Hux. That silky, smooth shirt. I don’t know, I just love it haha! No really, I’m excited to see Hux as part of the promo, and while I’m not the biggest Hux fan out there, his dynamic with Kylo and Domhnall Gleeson’s acting, and  emperor!Hux and kylux fanart/tags made me somewhat fond of the character, at least the fandom one.
Kylo Ren. Oh. My. God. Adam Driver is so good at modelling.
Those legs, that pose, the hair, cape over one shoulder -> I’m dead
“Kylo Ren’s wounds go much deeper than the fearsome new scar on his face.” -> I’m dead
It’s so coded for mental health, I just can’t (deep down all I want for Kylo is to find some peace and to see and be in the light again, even for a small part of his being)
Kylo’s ruffled hair actually gives him a slightly mad look, obsessed and passionately disheveled. Compare and contrast with Hux’s new sleek look, down to the shirt and hair. Heck, even their tops reflect each other: Hux’s silk shirt (with no buttons or anything else on it) and Kylo’s textured top
It’s been pointed out many times already that Kylo’s being unmasked for the TLJ promotion could mean and actually supports the idea that TLJ will explore humanity of the character, as per Adam Driver. What’s a more human way than to ditch masks and show emotions on one’s face? Plus as a bonus, we’ll get more of Adam’s performance aside from what he already amazingly conveys though body language and use of the costume
I cannot stop unseeing Eric Maell’s reylo artwork from last year’s Celebration. That rock star pose (hello and thank you, Star Wars Connection)
All in all, the First Order Trio looks ready to kick some ass in The Last Jedi
Leather boots, armor, belts, silk, space denim. I’m loving that aesthetic.
The Resistance
Precious freedom fighters in one photo! They actually look like a fam, and I love it <3 (unlike the First Order trio that’s biz only where Hux is sneering down at everyone and Kylo in particular, Phasma’s just up for the company with her colleagues, and Kylo pursuing his own thing within the Order)
Poe looking fine! No surprise here if you have Oscar Isaac playing the character! Hopefully, this charming poster boy will also get some challenges and more substance to his character this time around
Rose! I’m excited to see Kelly Marie Tran in character! We now know her full name now too - Rose Tico, and that of the new characters, she’ll have the most screen time. What I also find exciting is that Rose is a mechanic, meaning she’s employed in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math, for those who don’t know). Needless to say that we need more women represented in those fields on the big screen.
Finn/John Boyega. Looking gorgeous, determined, and more mature. No really, I love this! John Boyega’s got a great charisma, and it’s great to see him channeling that for Finn. Can’t wait to see more him in TLJ now that he’s a big deal in the Resistance.
Sadly, looks like we might not see much of Finn and Rey together in TLJ (based on these images and other info we know about them). Regardless of that, I’m glad for Finn finding a family, identity, and embarking on a journey of his own.
I wonder if Rey gets a new costume later in the film, will Finn get something of his own too? Recycling is great (perhaps, the Resistance is a bit short on cash too to make custom costumes for everyone), but I would love to see Finn wearing something that reflects him as his own person. He has a name and an identity. Why not give him a signature look too?
Overall, I really like the retro vibe of their looks. Kinda reminds of old movies, with movie stars rocking leather jackets, riding bikes or flying planes in WWII.
The Legacy
Carrie. Standing strong and beautiful. A true freedom fighter, a leader, a royalty. I really love how this image conveys all of that and more what Leia is, and doesn’t shy away from femininity and glamour the character always had.
This is a gorgeous touching tribute to the late Carrie Fisher, and, as many fans, I welcome it, and wholeheartedly celebrate Carrie’s legacy.
I want to say thank you to whoever put Leia’s looks in TLJ together for honouring the character through the costume, the leader and the princess that Leia has always been.
I want to talk more about the way the way Carrie carries herself in the image, that lip pout, and yet slight sadness in her eyes. Carrie does it so well. You can really see all the years and things she’s been through. She is probably mourning Han Solo (no, definitely mourning!), and perhaps Kylo’s fate is still tied to the First Order and Snoke, and whether she and Luke reunite is still up in the air, and it’s still a war after all these years in the Rebellion and now Resistance. She’s been part of the war, one or another, all her life. Darth Vader is her father. Her brother, more of a myth than a man now. Her son, her parents, Alderaan. That cannot not leave an imprint, and I’m glad to see that coming through.
I’m not embarrassed to admit that I actually started tearing up when I first saw this image. It’s so beautiful! Carrie looks simply stunning. To realize that this is her last role, and that she is the legacy of the 40 years history of Star Wars, and that she’s been Leia for 40 freaking years, since she was a teen to her last days, and been through so much in her life, yet fought and forged a path of her own, helping spread the word about mental health and making the world a little better place, having no shame in being herself despite the stigma and celebrity status, bashing haters with incredible wit and humour (hey, George Lucas got some too! So did the baboon hair she wore in TFA. I’m still not over her roasting the gas station attendant look xD), all of that and more is the inspiring tale of Carrie Frances Fisher.
While costumes are great, and great costumes are freaking fantastic, I really hope Leia has more than 2 minutes of screen time in The Last Jedi. Because that would be a crime to devote more time to robots and space ships than to the heart of Star Wars that characters and their stories are. What Leia Organa and her legacy are.
